Title: Determining the clotting point of blood
Inventor: WILLIAMS PHYLIP RHODRI
IPC: G01N33/49
Filed: 2006-04-20
Abstract: A method and apparatus for determining the instant at which coagulating blood forms a clot - the primary function of a clot being to act as a hemostatic plug at the site of a lesion in the circulatory system. The method comprises applying a harmonically time-varying stress and strain of controlled amplitude and frequency to the blood using a rheometer and through the use of the Chambon-Winter Gel Equation, the method is capable of determining the gel point which precedes the clotting time indicated by a thromboelastograph. The clotting or gel point is determined by applying the harmonic stress at two different frequencies. The resulting strain is measured at the two frequencies and the phase angle between the applied stresses and resulting is also measured. When the two plane angles are the same, it indicates the onset of gelling or clotting.
